Characters
Irish Chieftain
primary
A rugged man in his late 40s, with a muscular build earned through years of battle and leadership. His face is weathered, with deep-set blue eyes and a thick, graying red beard. His long hair is tied back with a leather thong, revealing a prominent scar across his left cheekbone. He wears a torque of twisted gold around his neck, signifying his noble status.
Scots Commander
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a strong build, standing tall despite the fatigue of battle. His face is weathered, with piercing blue eyes that reflect both determination and the weariness of war. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a practical knot. A jagged scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to past conflicts.
Irish Warrior
secondary
A robust and battle-hardened man in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of combat. His face bears the marks of previous skirmishes, including a prominent scar across his left cheek. His sun-weathered skin and piercing blue eyes reflect a life spent outdoors. His long, unkempt red hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his beard is thick and wild.
Scots Archer
secondary
A rugged Scottish longbowman in his late 20s, wiry and lean from years of campaigning. His sunburnt face is framed by a short, unkempt beard, and his eyes are sharp from constant vigilance. His hands bear the calluses of frequent bowstring use.
English Knight
secondary
A formidable warrior in his late 30s, standing tall with broad shoulders and a muscular build. His face bears the scars of previous battles, and his piercing blue eyes are framed by a close-cropped beard. His armor is dented but well-maintained, a testament to his experience.
Irish Youth
background
A wiry boy of about 12 years with sun-browned skin and tangled auburn hair that falls just past his ears. His thin frame shows the lean muscle of a child accustomed to hard work, with scrapes on his bare knees from scrambling across rocky terrain. Bright green eyes dart watchfully beneath thick lashes, missing nothing.
